People are Religious

I find that when people haven’t found God and do not know the new birth and the Spirit is not on them, yet they have the ancient impulse to worship something. If they’re not educated they kill a chicken and put a funny thing on their head and dance around. If they are educated they write poetry. A. W. Tozer

Holy Spirit Empowerment

If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference. A. W. Tozer

Do you Truly Follow The Christ

What’s closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God’s close to your heart, you’ll talk about Him. 

If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other, isn’t that proof that you aren’t [much] concerned about Him? – A. W. Tozer

So we find that there are a lot of Christians who fail to hear God’s voice because they’ve pretty much decided that they aren’t going to do what He says anyway.  But “God’s commands are designed to guide you to life’s very best.” – Henry Blackaby

Pastor Ward Clinton

When the Spirit illuminates the heart, then a part of the man sees which never saw before; a part of him knows which never knew before, and that with a kind of knowing which the most acute thinker cannot imitate.

I want to be a more serious-minded Christian, more detached from this world, more ready for heaven than I have ever been in my whole life. I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of the enemy, whether it comes from religion, politics, or philosophy … I would rather stand and have everybody my enemy than to go along with the crowd to destruction. Do you feel that way? – A. W. Tozer

Snowflakes are irrational and intolerant

What lunatics. Mike Pence apparently “makes” these snowflakes feel “unsafe.” Well as a counselor who practices cognitive-behavioral approaches with clients, let me say that NO ONE ever “makes” anyone feel anything. The problem with the snowflakes is their IRRATIONAL thinking, based on a set of what we call core cognitive distortions: (1) Socialism good, America bad; (2) Trump is a fascist; (3) Anything that challenges what our college professors have pounded into our heads since we arrived on campus HAS to be wrong; after all, our professors are ALWAYS right. That is the sort of bullshit I bought into as a college student myself. And it took me years to get it out of my head. How? Challenging the cognitive distortions around all of the things I’d assumed were true. https://townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2017/04/12/whos-unsafe-on-campus-n2312259

Escape Sin Bondage

So, it becomes the devil’s business to keep the Christian’s spirit imprisoned. He knows that the believing and justified Christian has been raised up out of the grave of his sins. From that point on, Satan works that much harder to keep us bound and gagged, in our own grave clothes. He knows that if we continue in this kind of bondage…we are not much better off than when we were spiritually dead.  – A.W.Tozer
